1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Bacterial morphology is largely determined by the spatial and temporal regulation of peptidoglycan (PG) biosynthesis. Ovococci possess a unique pattern of PG synthesis different from the well studied Bacillus, and the mechanism of the coordination of PG synthesis remains poorly understood. Several regulatory proteins have been identified to be involved in the regulation of ovococcal morphogenesis, among which DivIVA is an important one to regulate PG synthesis in streptococci, while its mechanism is largely unknown. Here, the zoonotic pathogen Streptococcus suis was used to investigate the regulation of DivIVA on PG synthesis. Fluorescent d-amino acid probing and 3D-structured illumination microscopy found that DivIVA deletion caused abortive peripheral PG synthesis, resulting in a decreased aspect ratio. The phosphorylation-depleted mutant (DivIVA
